Hiya Kym,
Patrick was fifty three when he married Margaret. Query number 89891 dated 24th June which was posted on the CousinConnect.com site Bergen : Butler : Costigan : Downey : Ring (http://www.cousinconnect.com/d/a/89891) states he married Eliza Costigan and had two daughters prior to his marriage to Margaret Ring.

Hi!
Okay so I am curious if I can fit my Downey line in!
I descend from a Patrick Downey born 1784 in Ballyragget, Kilkenny Ireland. Patrick left Ireland in 1806 and settled in Newfoundland, Canada. I have all his descendents from there...but we've never been able to determine who his parents were. Patrick married an Anastasia O'Hearn (from County Kerry) in 1810 in St. John's Roman Catholic Basilica.
I saw the post about John Downey from Ballyragget and him being born in 1780 and wondered if John and Patrick could be brothers? Patrick and Anastasia had 9 children: Bridget, James, Catherine, Anne, Mary, Elizabeth, Anastasia, Michael and Thomas. Our family hypothesizes that Patrick's dad's name was James (only because of the strong naming tradition in Irish families...which becomes more evident in further generations)....but that could be off base too.
Anyways, just some theories but would love to touch base with others researching the Ballyragget Downeys.

Patrick Downey born 1784 in Ballyragget, Kilkenny Ireland.
Sarah,
I am from the Downey clan in Codroy Valley, Newfoundland. I have all the same info on Patrick as you have except I have never read a reference to Patrick from Ballyragget. What is the source of the Ballyragget reference?
-
Hi BobJoe!!
How do you fit into the clan!? I'd love to know as I am trying to update all the branches :D
On James's immigration record he lists Ballyragget as his place of birth. As well as his marriage record I believe. I'll have to double check that. But I do have a piece of paper that's him and says he's born in Ballyragget.
The original document I started this obession with was from my Uncle Cyril Downey.
-
This is what I can find....but I do have a photocopy of a church record somewhere as well....
-
Found it!!! Seems my dates are off somehow in the translation. Their listing is in between the dark black lines with they typed 1810 on the right.

Hi

I have been finding my way back in my family tree and have found the Downeys. My mother Ellen MacIsaac is from Cape Breton. Her Mother was Amanda Jennings whose is the daughter of Patrick Jennings, who is the son of Anne Downey the daughter of Anastasia O'Hearn and Patrick Downey. I traced them back to Ireland where it ends. If anyone wants to contact me please do, this is all very interesting.

Hey Everyone!
I am looking into my family tree and I saw that some on here are in the same boat I am. Curious if anyone has information on Anastasia O'Hearn - married to Patrick Downey. These fine folks would be my Great (x4) Grandparents, through their son Thomas. Thomas Downey would eventually marry Catherine McLean making them my Great (x3) Grandparents. Then through Thomas and Catherine, they would be parents to Elizabeth Downey. Elizabeth married Donald Gillis making them my Great (x2) Grandparents. Elizabeth and Donald would then have Thomas Gillis, my Great (x1)Grandfather. Thomas Gillis would marry Mary Quilty making them my Great Grandparents. They would have Mary Theresa Gillis, my Grandmother. Mary would marry John Roderick MacPherson, having my mother, Joann MacPherson.
I have some info on Patrick Downey in case anyone needs it and or can correct any incorrect info.
Birth: 1784 - Ballyragget, Kilkenny, Ireland
Death: 1868 - Codroy Valley, Newfoundland, Canada
Father: Martin Downey (1753-1805)
Mother: Mary Martin (1755-1820)
Spouse: Anastasia O'Hearn (known as the matriarch of the Downey family in the Codroy Valley)
B: 1786 Kilkenny, County Kerry, Ireland
D: Oct 9, 1865 - Codroy Valley, Newfoundland, Canada
Father: ? anyone know
Mother: ? anyone know
Other: Patrick and Anastasia were married Sept 7, 1804 (1809). They were married at the Roman Catholic Basilica in St John's, Newfoundland. They had 9 children: Bridget, James, Catherine, Anne, Mary, Elizabeth, Anastasia, Michael and Thomas.
If anyone else has any info on Anastasia O'Hearn or Patrick Downey, I would be forever grateful. Thanks!
